Hahaha How long does it take you to read and do everything that's open? Or, do you just shut it all down at some point and say "to hell with it" then re-open stuff at a later time? Good god Ethan! Hahaha

How long does it take you to read and do everything that’s open?

Or, do you just shut it all down at some point and say “to hell with it” then re-open stuff at a later time?

The weakness (aside from its vaporware (sorry, "private alpha") status ;-) is that it works on documents, not web pages, as far as I can tell. Same goes for OS X's <a href="http://creativebits.org/mac_os_x/implement_stack_in_tiger_mac_osx" rel="nofollow">"Stack" function</a>. The only Web-oriented thing I found in this class is <a href="http://www.spacetime.com/" rel="nofollow">SpaceTime</a>. I played with it a few months ago; it's not ready for prime time. Performance was poor on my 2-year-old Dell Inspiron laptop. 3D navigation was limited; I ended up with a few rows of pages receding into the distance, but didn't have full freedom of motion. And none of the auto-grouping smarts you're looking for (tho that is a whole new domain, and much harder than the 3D rendering these products concentrate on). Definitely needs a lot of work. But at least there's some motion going on. BTW, what's with all these LazyWeb requests from you recently? Don't you code anymore? Scratch your own itch! (Sez Val, who has any number of "I gotta play with this cool tech" projects on the back burner (<a href="http://www.djangoproject.com/" rel="nofollow">Django</a>, <a href="http://processing.org/" rel="nofollow">Processing</a>, etc. ;-) Have you seen BumpTop?
